SIR - Your report today of tourism being worth £8bn to the Yorkshire economy shows the Bradford district as part of this growing major tourist destination.

So why why why is the Council intent on closing the Tourist Information offices and public toilets in Ilkley, Haworth and Saltaire - the three gems in Bradford’s crown?

They are relatively modest investments in helping achieve and further the tourism industry.

Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, but throw out the pending consultation report's conclusions.
